Easy Fudge Bars

My blogging friend, Tiffanee, shared a tried and true recipe on her blog a few weeks ago for some yummy fudge bars! I decided to give these a try for our Bible study; and they were a great hit.

I used applesauce in place of most of the oil and also swapped in dark chocolate chips (a little extra antioxidants, anyone?), and reduced the eggs to just one. Not sure that these counter the cake mix and sweetened condensed milk, but they were delicious.

The hardest part of this recipe? Waiting until they are cooled to eat.

I make a similar bar from scratch, which I am sure you could modify more to be even healthier! Check it out...they are delicious! (there's no way around the sweetened condensed milk though :-) ) http://themutchfamily.blogspot.com/2010/05/hip-hugger-bars.html

I've been making these bars for quite awhile - we call them "Can't leave 'em alone bars" :) I also make my own sweetened condensed milk to help on reducing cost. Thanks for your healthier substitions!!

When cooking, please make sure to follow kitchen hygiene and safety -- cook meat until internal temperature is at safe levels, always check labels for allergens, and use caution in the kitchen -- I love sharing recipes, but I am not liable for damages done as a result of trying these recipes.
